INSTALLATION & OPERATING MANUAL
Please Keep This Manual for Future Reference
Guardian 2010 Model
Thank you for your purchase. STOVE GUARD is an electronic safety device for use with electric stoves. It turns the stove
OFF when you forget by using the advanced technology found in security monitoring devices and a specially
programmed microcontroller.
STOVE GUARD controls the stove's electrical system to help prevent food and pots from burning, as well as reducing the
risk of fire caused by unattended cooking.
STOVE GUARD is preset at the factory at the highest fire safety setting.
This is the recommended setting for use by anyone with Alzheimer’s or similar medical condition.
When properly installed, adjusted, and set in AUTO mode, STOVE GUARD will automatically shut the
electric stove OFF if no one is present in the monitored cooking area for a preset period of time.
Upon returning to the cooking area, STOVE GUARD will detect their presence and automatically turn the
stove ON again. The preset time will reset to the last setting.
STOVE GUARD can also be used in a TIMER mode to set a maximum cooking time, after which the
stove will be automatically turned OFF.
IMPORTANT WARNING
In most situations the installation of STOVE GUARD does not require the use of a licensed Electrician. Read this manual
first to familiarize yourself before installing, hire a professional if you are uncomfortable with doing the installation
yourself.
Do not disassemble any of the components. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to a
qualified person only.
A licensed Electrician must install STOVEGUARD if the stove is presently hard-wired (notplugged
intoan existing 4 Prong range wall outlet) or uses an outdated range wall outlet.
IMPORTANT TECHNICAL SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT INSTALL the EMU (Electronic Monitoring Unit):
Directly above a heat source or where hot/cold air or steam will blow onto it.
On or above a microwave or toaster oven,
Directly on or above the stove.
STOVEGUARD must only be connected to a 220-240VAC grounded (4 prong) range wall outlet.
Do not allow grease to build up on the sensing unit. This will reduce STOVE GUARD's sensing range and possibly turn the
stove OFF even when someone is at the stove.
Clean the outer surface of the EMU with a clean, damp cloth only. Do not use soaps or cleaning liquids.
STOVE GUARD must be tested with the individual who requires this device and adjusted to their personal needs, as
well as adjusted to the home environment of use to ensure proper functioning. Additional fire safety devices; such as
smokedetectors & fire extinguishers must also be used to ensure complete cooking fire safety.

INSTALLING THE STOVE GUARD
1. TURN OFF POWER TO THE STOVE AT THE MAIN BREAKER or FUSE PANEL.(Switch the circuit breaker OFF or
Remove the fuses at the main panel).
2. Move the stove out from the wall to get proper access to the range wall outlet. (HINT: Remove the lower pot drawer to
check for location of range wall receptacle first.)
3. Installation of the STOVE GUARD Power Box on the wall or on the floor is a position that will allowthe stove to be pushed
back tight to the wall again (Do not fasten the Power Box to the stove itself).
4. Disconnect the stove power cord plug from the existing range wall outlet (the wall receptacle) and plug it into the STOVE
GUARD Power Box receptacle (#6 on the Power Box Diagram).
5. Connect the thin white cable from the Power Box (#4 on the Power Box Diagram) to the receptacle in the back of the
Electronic Monitoring Unit (EMU), by lining up the pins on the connector, do not use force. Route the cable in the
recessed groove.
6. Plug the STOVE GUARD Power Box cord into the existing range wall outlet. Turn POWER to the stove back ON by
switching the circuit breaker back ON or replacing the fuses.
7. For the safety reasons, after a power failure, if power goes off and return back, or after the first use, the stove will
remain turned off until user presses any button. The red Stove Off and red SG Off LED should lighting. Display
should showPO. Turna burner on a low setting.Theburner should remain cold (turned off). Turnoff theburner.
8. Setting the Rocker Switch on Power Box to the proper position: Set the stove clock and/or turn the stove light on. If
the stove is turned off, but clock is working and light lighting, the rocker switch is in the proper position.If the stove clock stops,
or stove light doesn’t light, switch the rocker switch on the Stove Guard Power Box to the other operating position (#3 on the
Power Box Diagram). Test the clock and light operation again. Stove Guard should shut off the stove, but not affect the clock
or stove lights.
9. Make sure nothing is on thetop of stove.Press the AUTO button. This should turn the stove on. Green Auto LED should
light. Green Sensor LED will light when movement is detected. A time of 01 minute should appear on the display. A
time of 1 minute is the factory default preset. Wait about 20 seconds till display shows -- . Dashes means that there
is not current detection (the stove doesn’t draw current). Turn on a burner. Stove Guard should detect current,
display will show 01. Test the Stove Guard by standing out of the EMU's sensor detectionarea. After1 minute,power to the
stove burner should shut off. When re-entering the sensor detection area, sensor detects movement, and the Stove Guard
will turn the stove burner on again. You could hear a relay click or see that display changes from 00 (means time with no
movement detected reach 0).Turnoff theburner. Donot touch the burner...It may be hot...
10. The stove can now be returned to its original position (flush against the wall), while carefully making sure that the EMU
wire is routed properlyup to the EMU.
11. Mount the EMU to an upper kitchen cabinet, or to the wall.
12. TestSTOVEGUARDin itsvariousmodes and instructthefinal user on StoveGuard's proper use.
MOUNTING the EMU (Electronic Monitoring Unit)
The best location for mounting the EMU is under an upper kitchen cabinet approximately 12” (30cm) from the right or left
side of the cooktop, or on the wall approximately 18” (45cm) from the right or left side of the cooktop.
Remember: DO NOT place it directly on or above the cooktop.
MOUNTING TO THE BOTTOM OF A KITCHEN CABINET
Remove the plastic covers from the 2 holes on the top and bottom of the EMU.
Feed the two long screws from the bottom to the top of the EMU and screw directly into the bottom of
the cabinet.
Ensure that the cable is properly routed back to the Power Box.
Page 4 of 4
MOUNTING TO THE WALL
Mark 2 points on the wall exactly 7 1/16 “ (18cm) apart.
Drill 2 holes and install two short screws, leaving the screw threads exposed approx. 1/4” (6mm).
Line up & Place the EMU on the screw heads and slide it down.
Ensure that the cableis properly routed back to the Power Box.
USING STOVE GUARD
The new Guardian model is a product that unites all three user selectable Stove Guard’s models: Now there is one model
that does it all.
The Basic model developed to satisfy most Home user’s needs.
The Delay model allows cognitive users to easily change settings, while thwarting a “button pusher” user attempts to
disable the device. (“Press & Hold” button when changing settings.)
The Password model version features password locking, for managed-care type situations. Administrators can set
the device to the User’s particular needs, and then password lock it.
The Stove Guard has 4 operating modes to control the stove: AUTO, TIMER, SG-OFF, and STOVE-OFF.
AUTO
This is recommended mode - provides the maximum protection & no further setting is required.
The AUTO mode allows the PIR (motion detector) in the EMU to automatically shut the stove off if the user is out of the
sensing area for longer than the preset time (1 minute is the factory-preset time, recommended time setting is 5-7
min). When the user re-enters the sensing area approximately 10-12 feet (3-4m) line of site from the EMU, the Stove
Guard will turn the stove back on and reset timer to the last preset time. There is no need to reset the timer each time.
The green AUTO LED lights. Green movement indicator lights every time when movement is detected and resets clock to
the preset time. Display will show number of minutes left before Stove Guard turn off the stove if no movement is
detected. If no movement is detected (user turn on the stove and left kitchen) for the preset time Stove Guard will turn off
the stove, display will show 00 and red Stove Off indicator (#12 on EMU diagram) lights. The display will show -- when
neither top stove nor oven is turned on (no current is detected for more then 4 minutes and 40 seconds).
TIMER
The green TIMER LED lights. In TIMER mode stove will operate for preset time (default is 5 minutes) which can be
adjusted to the cooking time of specific dish. Once the preset time is over, the stove will turn off. Display shows number of
minutes left before Stove Guard turns off the stove. When decimal point between digits lights, display shows hours and
tenth of hours left (if countdown time is above 99 minutes). Movement detection is disabled in timer mode.
SG-OFF
The red SG OFF LED lights. When the Stove Guard is in the SG-OFF (Stove Guard Off) mode the stove retains its
regular function, and the Stove Guard’s safety features are inactive. The display is blank. For safety reason one hour after
Stove Guard is in the SG-OFF mode and the stove is turned off (current is not detected) Stove Guard automatically goes
back to AUTO mode.
STOVE-OFF
The red STOVE-OFF LED lights. When the Stove Guard is in STOVE-OFF mode the stove is turned off (same as
unplugging the power cord). The display is blank.
HOW TO ADJUST THE STOVE GUARD
[1] SG-OFF button
When holding for 3 seconds change Stove Guard mode to SG-OFF.
Pressed instead holding for STANDARD model.
Page 5 of 5
[2] AUTO button
When pressed turns the Stove Guard in AUTO mode and resets preset time.
[3] STOVE OFF button
When pressed turns the stove off (STOVE-OFF mode).
Hold for DELAY model.
[4] TIMER button
Turns the Stove Guard in TIMER mode and resets preset time.
Hold for DELAY model.
[5] and [6] TIME buttons
TIME buttons are used for adjusting the preset time for AUTO and TIMER mode. Pressing TIME buttons changes the
preset time.
User had to hold time buttons to start changing the preset time for DELAY model.
User can choose between 01 and 15 minutes in AUTO and 01 minutes and 7.0 hours in TIMER mode. Left button adds
10 minutes or 1 hour and the right button adds 1 minutes or 0.1 hour (6 minutes) to the preset time. After reaching the
maximum setting the preset time goes back to 01 minute.
For the safety reason, after a power failure, if power goes off and return back, the Stove Guard will "wake-up" in AUTO
mode with stove shut off. Display shows PO. The infrared sensor will not reset clock to preset time until user press any
button. If mode before power failure was Stove Off, the Stove Guard will remain in this mode.
When Stove Guard is in SG-OFF mode, one hour after the Stove Guard does not detect current (stove is turned off),
Stove Guard will automatically go to AUTO mode. This option can be disabled. If Stove Guard is in the STOVE-OFF
mode, the Stove Guard will not go to AUTO mode automatically, regardless of Auto On settings.
The output connector and buzzer in the Stove Guard monitor unit make a change from open contact to closed (start
buzzing) and goes back to open contact (stop buzzing) every time when Stove Guard turns the stove off if this option is
selected.
For PASSWORD model only:
The Password model version features password locking, for managed-care type situations. Administrators can set the
device to the User’s particular needs, and then password lock it. If buttons are locked only the unlock function is enabled.
To lock/unlock Stove Guard's buttons: While holding SG-OFF button, press and hold RIGHT TIME button for 3
seconds. Display will show L.. for lock or U.. for unlock function depend of previous lock/unlock state. User has 25
seconds to enter each of four digits [1] to [6] (button SG-OFF till right TIME) password for (un)locking. While user enters
the password, display will show "L" or "U" lock/unlock, and ".." or 1 to 3 dashes - represents the numbers of password
digits entered. If password is correct display will show LL and all pushbuttons are locked or UU and pushbuttons are
unlocked. If password is not correct display will show LF - lock fail or UF - unlock fail. In case of 25 seconds time-out
lock/unlock also fails.
To change the password: While holding SG-OFF button, press and hold the left TIME button for 3 seconds. Display will
show d.. . User has to enter four digits [1] to [6] of current password. Display will show d.. ,d_ ,d= ,and dduring
entering digits of old password. Display will change to P.. and user can enter a new password. After entering the new
password display will show C.. , and user have to enter the new password again for confirmation. If old password is
correct and the same new password is entered twice display will show CC and the new password is accepted. Otherwise
display will showCF - confirmation fails - and old password will remain valid.
THE RELAY OUTPUT AND THE BUZZER
The output connector is located on back of electronic monitor unit (EMU) near white cable connector. It can be used to
trigger an external monitoring device, whenever the Stove Guard disables the stove; such as a Phone Dialer or Alarm
system. The buzzer in Stove Guard monitor unit make a audible signal at same time as the relay output make change
from open contact to closed (start buzzing) and goes back to open contact (stop buzzing).
Page 6 of 6
THESE ADVANCED SETTING WILL ONLY BE USED FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS, NOT FOR MOST
INSTALLATIONS.
The Stove Guard has added a counter cycle that will record each time the unit turns the stove off. This feature is important
for managed-care type situations to monitor the users use, to determine how many times they forgot about their electric
stove.
If Stove Guard is in the STOVE-OFF mode holding the STOVE-OFF and LEFT TIME buttons, will show number of times
the Stove Guard shut off the stove in auto and/or timer mode as selected. Numbers shown are from 00. to 99. or Ab.
"Ab." means that Stove Guard turned the stove off more than (Above) 99 times. Holding the STOVE-OFF button will reset
counter to 00. After 8 seconds time-out display goes back to blank.
If Stove Guard is in the STOVE-OFF mode, holding the STOVE-OFF and RIGHT TIME buttons will start the setting mode.
Display will show two numbers followed with a decimal point representing the current settings. User can adjust settings
with left and right time button. Pressing the STOVE-OFF button will save new settings (accepted - display shows AC ). If a
time-out occurs without holding the STOVE-OFF button display will show nA - not accepted, and the old settings remain.
Left digit meaning:
Auto On & current detection - choose one:
Goes to AUTO from SG-OFF mode after 1 hour without current - Add 0
Don’t go automatically to AUTO (Auto On disabled) - Add 3
Current detection disabled (assume always current) - Add 6
Disabling the current detection is not recommended. Turn this setting on only if current detection doesn’t work.
Stove Guard model - choose one:
Standard - Add 0

No buzzing and no pulse on output connector - Add 0
Just in auto mode with 0.8 s pulse - Add 1
Just in auto mode with 2 s pulse - Add 2
Just in auto mode two 1 s pulse repeating - Add 3
In auto and timer mode with 0.8 s pulse - Add 4
In auto and timer mode with 2 s pulse - Add 5
In auto and timer mode two 1 s pulse repeating - Add 6
If “No buzzing and no pulse on output connector” is selected counter which records how many times the unit turns the
stove off is disabled.
Repeating means two 1 second closed contact pulse with 0.6 s open contact between (buzzer - two short beeps). This is
repeating every minute until user turn the stove on again (press button or re-enter motion detection area depending of
stove guard mode).
For a pulse triggered devices as a phone dialer 0.8s pulse is recommended. For a buzzer 2s pulse or repeating mode is
recommended.
Possible settings: 0. ÷ 13. Digits greater than 9 are shown as:
10 "A" 12 "C"
11 "11" 13 "d"
In case that user wants to restore the original factory settings (forgotten password for example) user has to follow this
factory default reset procedure:

SENSING LEVEL ADJUSTMENT (Height Adjustment)
The sensing range of the EMU (Electronic Monitoring Unit) is over 4 meters (around 12 feet) at a radius of 110 degrees.
Each time the motion sensor is activated, the green INDICATOR LED flashes (#8 on EMU Diagram).
STOVE GUARD features an adjustable sensing height level to prevent the activation of the stove by small
children or pets that might be detected by the motion sensor (PIR).
There is a screw located underneath the EMU, which allows you to adjust the viewing height range of the PIR.
Normally this does not need to be adjusted.
Note: This adjustment should only be done in the following situations:
1. It is determined that the PIR is detecting movements other than those of the intended STOVE GUARD user (such
as small children, pets, etc.) which will pass within the lower portion of it’s detection field.
To RAISE the detection field when the EMU cannot be located higher, slowly turn the screw to the LEFT.
2. STOVE GUARD is not detecting the movements of the user because its location is set very high up; the user is
very short, or seated in a wheelchair.
To LOWER the detection field for these situations, slowly turn the screw to the RIGHT.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Why is there a very slight “…humming sound…” coming from the Stove Guard’s power box?
This humming sound is normal; the sound is emitted from the energized coils in the power relays. These relay coils must
be energized to allow the operation of the safety feature called “…Fail Safe…”. This important added safety feature makes
the Stove Guard tamper proof, this means that if any wires are purposely disconnected to try to disarm Stove Guard the
kitchen stove will not operate.
If this slight humming sound is annoying to you, try to lay the Power Box on the floor behind the stove instead of
mounting it to the wall… When attached firmly to the wall or metal surface the sound may be amplified.
The EMU’s LED’s do not light up:
Check the stove fuse or circuit breaker to ensure power is reaching the stove.
Check that all the connections to the STOVE GUARD Power Box and EMU are properly connected and press
the AUTO button.
Check the fuse in the STOVE GUARD Power Box (#2 on POWER BOX diagram).
The green INDICATOR LED flashes without any reason:
Avoid placing the EMU within the proximity of the following sources of interference that might accidentally trigger the PIR
(Motion Detector):
Reflective Surfaces: direct air flow from vents, fansand windows.
Sources of steam or cooking oil vapor.
Infrared light sources: TV or other IR Remote Controls
Objects causing temperature changes: such as heaters, refrigerators, toasters and ovens.
Do not place objects that a pet can climb onto (e.g. a cat on furniture) within 10 feet of the EMU, or furniture
higher than 3 ft.
In addition, do not aim the EMU at a stairway a pet may have access to.
Page 8 of 8
When there was a loss of power (Electrical Outage) the STOVE GUARD keeps the stove turned off until user press any
button. The Stove Guard keeps user settings. There is no need to be adjusted to your own personal needs again.
